The Creature from the Deep is a Hardmode enemy from the Solar Eclipse event. They attack like most other fighter-type enemies on land, but they also have the ability to swim. While they are in water, their speed and maneuverability increases dramatically. It is also capable of jumping out of the water towards the player, doing so with maneuverability similar to a Unicorn.

  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Creature from the Deep: "Said to have emerged from the blackest lagoons, these fish-men lash at their victims with unmatched submerged mobility."
